Is this for a book you’re writing? I think “And yet, another dark day begins this chapter.” sounds good.

You can call someone atrocious “He’s atrocious.” You can call an act an atrocity. A similar word is monstrous or if referring to an act, you can say it is a monstrosity. Hope that helped :)

Hi Gretta I would recommend asking: How comfortable are you speaking Chinese? Other possibilities: How often do you speak Chinese? Would you consider yourself fluent? Would you say you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced speaker? These options will work as well :) 1.How much Chinese can you speak? 2.How's your Chinese? 3.How fluent is your Chinese?

Hey guys, do the following statements sound natural in the context of spoken English? "I didn't know American colleges offered admissions twice in a year, such as in the spring and fall semester." "When I first landed in America, I didn't plan on making a career out of this, you know I didn’t wake up one day and try to become famous." "They liked my voice and offered me a record deal. Of course, accepted the deal and the rest is history." Really great writing! better than some natives haha. my only changes were to provide a smoother flow.

The best way i can explain it as...... 1without AS much discomfort - relating to previous discomfort -example at the dentist “is it possible to tighten my braces without as much discomfort as the last time - also can can relate to something current that you experience and want to find out an alternative solution -example of a commercial “would you like to go running without as much discomfort? Try these new memory foam shoes” 2 without SO much discomfort - honestly i think they can be can used the same ways yet “so much” sounds more natural off the tongue. the less the words the better right? -Let’s put it to the test “is it possible to tighten my braces without so much discomfort ?” Part 2 “would you like to go running without so much discomfort? try these new memory foam shoes” I think both work depends how persuasive you are trying to sound. If you want to be persuasive “so much” is a little dramatic. if you are referring to a specific time frame that was uncomfortable then “as much” would maybe fit your need better. sorry if this is redundant (repetitive).

Could someone check this email and make it sound more natural?. Please feel free to edit or make any changes you deem necessary. Hello, We were wondering if there has been any progress on the issue. After many discussions, we are aware that the time frames may be rather long to get a vessel due to the pandemic and unstable market right now, and you surely busy. However the situation is growing out of hand and chaotic in our warehouse. My intention is not to pressure you, but only to address that no pallet has been picked up in over a year and we continuing to accumulate more. We have done everything in our power to return them like sending requested information, looking for the containers, answering questions or extending any information you need and so on. Still the situation has persisted without any advancements. We would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly offer any feedback or support on what steps will be taken next. Hope to hear from you soon, Best regards,
